Best Teleprompter I've Ever Used! (Elgato Prompter Review)

[@mrjerrypotter]

Wow, I had no idea having the bright white on the screen would affect the video so much! I remember hearing that warning but I appreciate you demonstrating it.

[@micahrader2334]

You can probably get a polarizer to help reduce reflections too

[@JamesKerLindsay]

The Prompter is a brilliant piece of kit. It completely transformed my workflow, especially when teamed up with the Streamdeck Pedal. I love it. I have just downloaded the new voice control update. This is really promising. But it’s still a little glitchy. I recorded my latest video with it. It started really well, but then kept stalling. Hopefully, this will be ironed out. But even now it is so far ahead of anything else.

[@marcuscarter]

Amazing, you just convinced me to upgrade from my standard teleprompter to this one with one video. Love your content, well done to you, all the best!

[@PrimalVideo]

Awesome to hear you upgraded your teleprompter, Marcus! Thank you so much for your kind words! ☺️ - Vianca, PV Team

[@marcuscarter]

@@PrimalVideo You're very welcome, quick question what software do you use to record your vids? I'm having trouble getting that crisp look in spite of having a new sony 4k camera (I'm on obs and ecamm live) thank you so much for your reply 🙏

[@NickNimmin]

I agree. The elgato prompter is 🔥. Especially for live streams. You can put chat on it so you can keep looking at camera. Great for interviews too so you can stare at the camera instead of the screen.

[@j_holtslander]

This video did a better job of selling me on the product than Elgato‘s own marketing material.

[@PrimalVideo]

Wow, thanks for the feedback! I’m glad to hear the video was so convincing. Enjoy using Elgato! 😊- Hazel, PV Team

[@dougscott188]

Terrific explainer

[@PrimalVideo]

Thanks - Hazel, PV Team

[@WatchMysh]

The active listening and speed control is fkn awesome! I didn't know about that. Thanks for the review! Only downside is that it's wired.

[@PrimalVideo]

Glad you found the active listening and speed control helpful! Thanks for your feedback about the wired aspect-definitely a point to consider! - Hazel, PV Team

I've been trying to mirror a mac monitor output for years and it's almost impossible. This looks like a perfect product. I just bought one, thanks for the vid!

[@alexhurschlerai]

Der Prompter ist großartig, und ich nutze ihn selbst! Ich habe viele tolle Feedbacks bekommen, weil ich den Menschen direkt in die Augen schauen kann. Das macht enorm viel aus und kann ich jedem empfehlen.

A fantastic informative review of the Teleprompter Justin and love 🥰 the video and love ❤ Justin & The Primal Video Team.

Thanks, David 😊 - Hazel, PV Team

[@splashofgoodness]

Can I use y sony zv1 with this prompter?

[@justinresells]

Which desk mounted arm are you using for the camera + teleprompter? @ 2:03

[@uri-naor]

I'd love to know too

[@marlettamcclain1950]

Great video. Is there an annual or monthly charge for the app?

[@JBoy340a]

Without the autoscroll as your talk this is semi useless. I hope it works well when it ships. I like the idea of it being a screen, but it needs to be pretty good since I currently use an iPad as a screen

[@brenajean]

Do you have a video on adding the graphics to the bottom of the video that shows us the timeline of the video?

[@m.sabir21]

Thanks for sharing this excellent video, do this prompter have a memory or can be used with usb or needed to hook with a computer, i needed one with camera moving location to location?

[@varbed]

What tripod do you use that holds on your desk and install elgato/camera on it?

[@Slaw.S.M]

Crazy....Love it. Thx Justin😍

[@PrimalVideo]

You're welcome 😊 - Hazel, PV Team

[@BenchrestMarksman]

I've been using the Elgato Prompter for a month now, and overall, it's fantastic and works really well with the foot pedal. However, there are a couple of drawbacks: mounting the prompter on the lens of my camera it cannot autofocus, and the voice scrolling feature only works with NVIDIA RTX 2060 or newer GPUs, not AMD cards, which was disappointing and I needed to purchase the foot pedal

[@PrimalVideo]

Thanks for sharing about your experience! ☺️ - Vianca, PV Team

[@danshiran7305]

Amazing video! What lens did you use?

[@ryanrguitarist]

How safe do you feel hanging the weight of the Prompter off your Sigma 18-35? That's literally the only thing stopping me buying one

[@uri-naor]

I'd love to know which desk mount you use

[@seecraig]

But given that it has to be tied to a computer I don't see how it can be easily used in the field/on location or even elsewhere in the office away from computer or laptop. For me, that's the biggest drawback and why I still prefer a smartphone/tablet teleprompter. Ideally, I'm using a tablet and controlling from my phone.

[@adamtruhler8245]

What's your preferred teleprompter for shooting outdoors without being tied to a computer?

[@modifiedau]

Interested to also know your preferred teleprompter that doesn't need to be connected.

[@seecraig]

[@adamtruhler8245]

@@seecraig I've heard the build quality on the Padcaster isn't great. Any thoughts on that? I've looked at the Smallrig teleprompter, but as this is my first foray into decent cameras and teleprompters it would cost me about $400 to build out a portable teleprompter using Smallrig components.

[@BenjiiDWJ]

Hey there Justin quick question regarding using the Prompter with an iPhone. I’m very keen on using the voice tracking features on the PrompSmart Pro app on IOS with an external lavalier mic for recording KZbin videos. Is there a way to display/mirror the script within PromptSmart Pro app on the iPhone onto either the Prompters glass or the in-built screen?

[@lawrencediggs7957]

Will the El Gato teleprompter work with the insta360 link?

[@EPHONIC]

Nice video. Covers a lot. What monitor arm do you use to hold the prompter and does the arm have a 1/4 20 thread?

[@BibleTalkwiththeFam]

I am looking into a teleprompter, is this one for only desk use or could you use this from say 15 or so feet away?

[@mexighost]

Will it work with a laptop? I once ordered the stream deck a few years back. For the life of me I could not get it setup on a laptop. But definitely need something like this

[@Shelly_Dee]

What software app do you use with this? I’m hearing the software that comes with it is not that great

[@focus4fitness-norwich462]

What’s the largest font size it can display?

[@DansMesCordes]

Quick question: how do you make the text go faster or slower on the fly? I don't see a remote in the package. Anything possible besides the pedal system?

[@Marqbits]

sir please make video on Hitflim Tips plzzzzzzz

[@TeamAstroworkz]

Nah tied to a computer doesn't voicectrack I'll keep promptsmart pro for a lot cheaper n less hassle more features

[@rafaelconejos6662]

Big fan of promptsmartpro as well for the autovoice scroll

[@lennythelawyer-live8559]

Your videos are always very helpful, but no one has made a video about my problem. I need help with a big problem. I have the Elgato Prompter, Facecam Pro4K60fps, the Elgato Streamdeck plus and I cannot find a way to be able to read from the prompter or even access it from either Zoom or StreamYard. I have the wavelink software and the camera hub installed, but nothing helps and I cannot find any KZbin videos that tell me how to put this all together and make it work. Thanks in advance.

[@Mortgagemikee]

I am highly considering getting it but I wanted to know. Can you use a filter with it? I wear glasses and don’t like the reflection of my monitors to show so I use a circular polarizer to record.

[@Nammakural01]

Hey Justin. Great review. Question for you. Will this work with standard webcams? And if yes, how easy is the setup because it looks like it is designed to use cameras or their own webcam specifically? Thanks in advance.

[@Alex-w4g4v]

Is there a teleprompter you would recommend for screen recording? My use case is recording software installation videos to accompany user guides. I'd like to record my screen and face simultaneously (I'll likely use Canva for this) but would like to have a script and maintain eye contact with the camera.

[@AndersMichaelNielsenMatema-k9w]

Hi, Thanks for an amazing video (and channel). Is there any chance you know if I can use the Elgato prompter with a Sony 15 mm f 1.4 Sony Emount lens without having vignetting horisontally or vertically? I am going to use the Sony zv-e10 ii camera. Kind regards Anders

[@aslsahin6063]

Does it require installing an application to your PC to be able to use it?

[@spiritguide7]

Its it true that the mp4 files produced by elgato teleprompter are limited to 640 x 480? Your videos look good. Did you produce them with elgato?

[@PrimalVideo]

I’m not sure i understand your question.. i’m only using it as a screen to show notes or a script. i record to the camera behind the teleprompter

[@spiritguide7]

@PrimalVideo So the resolution of your videos is not limited by the elgato teleprompter. Correct?

[@Varanormal]

@spiritguide7 hes using a separate camera for the video

[@sageabay]

I don't have extra screen to monitor my dslr recording, (if i am in frame or not etc.) will i be able to view my dslr screen while this prompter is on?

[@JohnBischofEsq]

Amazing review! Do you have any special tips for content recording while using something like an iPhone 13 Pro Max with a Rode VideoMic Me-L?

[@braintumoraunty]

I am in two minds to using this, as I'm not sure I will be able to read the screen from 2 meters. I have a podcast and not sure it would be helpful. Any suggestions?

[@mrjerrypotter]

You can change the font size to be as big as you need.

The prom is expensive, for those of us who have a thin wallet! What do you recommend then? Not everyone can afford this!

[@ubellubo]

If you have a smart phone or an iPad you could buy a Desview teleprompter like the the T3 for about half the price (or less). For reading text this option is fine. But if you want your teleprompter to be a second screen (for zoom calls or PowerPoint presentations etc)then you need to use a program like Spacedesk to connect your iPad and then mirror flip the screen. This works but it is a bit laggy. A better option is to buy a portable monitor with mirror flip but these are quite expensive. So price-wise the Elgato prompter is pretty good considering what you get out of the box and the convenience.

[@fullsleevetats]

Sadly, this does not work with Linux, my main, daily-driver desktop platform (for the last 20 years). Elgato doesn't support any of their hardware on Linux, so you're left with random community projects to support oit (like the Streamdeck for example)

[@DJDadson]

Is the software free ?

[@PrimalVideo]

No, Elgato's Teleprompter software is not free - Hazel, PV Team
